COVID-19 UPDATE, 26 MAR 2021

Following the successful Zoom lecture by Aoife Hunt, the Christmas lectures by Yolanda Ohene and Colin Wright were a great success with at least 429 participants. Anna Pratoussevitch's Presidential Lecture on 4 March was also held successfully on Zoom, with a maximum attendance of 110. The Presidential Lecture of Gaynor Bahan will be given by Zoom on 22 April 2021 (see announcement on the left).

Open Challenge has been completed with a provisional total of 85 entrants. There will be an online prizegiving event during May. The Pop Maths Quiz took place online on Saturday 6 March with 139 students in 36 teams from 15 schools; for further details, please go to Event_20210306_PopMathsQuiz.

The Committee meeting on 25 March 2021 discussed the programme for 2021/22. One online popular lecture has already been arranged (see announcement on the left). It is hoped that there will be a face-to-face Christmas lecture. Furher online and face-to-face lectures will be arranged. Open Challenge and the Pop Maths Quiz will both take place; it is hoped that the Pop Maths Quiz will be possible both face-to-face and online.

FMR Home Activities

These activities are free of charge.

Teachers may make puzzles from this collection available to students in their schools for use on screen or after printing out.

Parents and pupils may access these puzzles directly at home, and should first read the Notes for Guidance.

Answers to the puzzles are provided, and there is a feedback form so you can get in touch with us.

The FunMaths Roadshow continues to be on sale during the COVID-19 crisis by download only (no CDs). You can see all the details here.
